+# DDCMQTT
+DDCMQTT is a little server program that sends DDC commands to monitors in response to
+MQTT messages. This allows you to, for example, change brightness and input from
+whatever custom scripts/hardware/control system you want.
+
+## Status
+It works, on a RPi 4, and is in daily use by the author. Code's a bit messy.
+
+## Building
+You'll need a working Rust environment, or Nix. Run `cargo build` or `nix build`
+accordingly.
